- The site says about 1,650 archived post addresses redirect to its history page, while made-up addresses still return 404.
Field notes
The page describes an operation that gathered material from Flickr and YouTube, searched eBay for travel-related listings, and syndicated posts through dlvr.it. It reports 2,872 pages alongside “some 28,000 posts,” but does not explain the difference between those counts. The site also says the Wayback Machine preserved about 1,650 post addresses and describes how those paths now resolve.
